Relationship Status by K.A. Mitchell
Review by Lauren
source: copy from Netgalley; all opinions are my own
Official Summary: Ethan knows firsthand that long distance is hard on love. If Wyatt is spending his summer at an internship in Pittsburgh, that’s where Ethan will be. Even if it means inventing his own career goal just to find a reason to stay with his boyfriend. He didn’t expect they’d be living in a hot, crappy apartment, with work schedules that keep them apart more than together.
Wyatt’s past has taught him to keep his head down and focus on living through the day. Loving Ethan has him looking to the future for the first time; he’s just not in as big of a rush to get there. It’s hard to trust in happiness when life has been busy kicking you in the nuts.
Together they’re getting the hang of real life, when a new responsibility for Wyatt throws everything off balance. Ethan’s doing everything he can to prove he’s in this forever, while Wyatt is torn between a future with Ethan and a debt to the past. Too bad they didn’t cover this in college.
Review: This is the third and final book in the Ethan and Wyatt series. What I love about this series is that each book follows the same couple; normally with m/m authors, the books in a series are just companion novels. Each book has a different couple. Relationship Status has developed couple Ethan and Wyatt living together for the first time while they both do summer internships.
Continue K.A. Mitchell's Ethan/Wyatt series with Relationship Status - out now! Click To TweetWyatt got his first, and not wanting to be left behind, Ethan found something too. Again, since we’ve been following the same couple, this book isn’t about them falling in love. They’re already there and this is the continuation of their story, which I love. It shows the highs and lows of being with someone, learning to deal with their problems and successes.
Relationship Status isn’t terribly long – more like a novella than anything – so I finished it one evening. I thought the physical affection was balanced well with the narrative, so it’s not just a book full of sex. There is a story line, with ups and downs, and that’s always appreciated! While not my favorite series ever, I do think these are good books and I’d recommend them to anyone interested!

They may not be a favorite, but it sounds like a good series that doesn’t take much time to get through.
It’s true that it’s always nice to follow the same couple over the books
This sounds like a great series. Same with you. I love a trilogy. It gives us time to see the couple relationship grow. Anyway, awesome review. Oh and thank you so much for the giveaway. Congratulations on getting 3k followers on twitter. You deserve it. ???
Congrats on reaching 3,000 followers on twitter! I only have 700 so I can’t even imagine how long it will take me to reach your milestone!
Great review. I’m with you on liking the idea that this series follows the same couple over time. I like watching relationships progress and evolve.
The series sounds good , I may give it a try. Great review thanks for sharing! Enjoy the week ahead:)
I love being able to follow characters even after the beginning of their love story!
I would like that it is the same couple, too instead of starting over in each book. Hope you are enjoying your Monday! 🙂

It’s nice to see a series follow a relationship beyond the passionate first stages of love.
Sounds like a great series! I like the idea that you get to follow their story too 🙂
You are right that most are more like companion series but it is fun to follow the same couple. Glad you enjoyed it! Congrats on 3000 followers!!
